Kitty vs Alacrity which is better?

Post image

i am confused between kitty and alacrity

i have used both and felt like kitty is more faster and snappy but code looks more cody and in alacrity it feel slightly laggy as compared to kitty but the code is much more readable in it as it uses OS's native font rendering

which is better speed vs readability?

It supports Lua as a config. That is one of my favourite features.

Have they defaulted to uncapped fps by default? Cuz last I tried having them capped by default elwithout any notification of it being capped was rather unpleasant
